Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of interleukin-6 blockade with tocilizumab on SARS-CoV-2 viral kinetics and antibody responses in patients with COVID-19: A prospective cohort study.

TL;DR: The results suggest that in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, IL-6 blockade does not impair the viral specific antibody responses, and the safety of this therapy in patients with COVID-19 is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion and viral clearance in patients hospitalized with COVID-19: viral load predicts antibody response

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the viral determinants of antibody response, the predictors of nonseroconversion, and the role of antibodies on viral dynamics in patients with COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preemptive interleukin-6 blockade in patients with COVID-19.

TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that tocilizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody, may be beneficial in severely ill patients, but no data are available on earlier stages of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19-associated encephalitis successfully treated with combination therapy.

TL;DR: COVID-19 may present as an encephalitis syndrome mimicking acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis that could be amenable to therapeutic modulation, suggesting that it could be related to host inflammatory response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of the Addition of Baricitinib to Standard of Care Including Tocilizumab and Corticosteroids on Mortality and Safety in Severe COVID-19.

TL;DR: Baricitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor with a broader anti-inflammatory activity than tocilizumab and an antiviral potential although no head-to-head trials are available.
